Default Loads

I have ran into quite a few individuals that do not know how to work up loads or they do not have the patience for working up loads, perhaps their time is very limited.

They hunt for "A LOAD", then try it. This is similar to trying to hit the center of a dart board, throwing darts, where you keep throwing darts until the laws of probability finally allow you to hit the center.

Unfortunately, some loads are just dangerous, and there are typo's in internet messages.

Also, a guy maybe stating his load that he worked up in 45* temps, then you try that same load in the Summer at 90*, and you blow a primer.


As we get older, some of us just remember things wrong...

If you see a guy is having great success with a load, back off some and work up. N120 and Little gun are perhaps two of the very worst in spiking pressures in small cases where neck dimension and bore dia can wreak havoc.
